I recently inherited some Volkswagen patches from a family member and was told some of them *may* be valuable. Anyone have any information on any of these?

The first one I don't recognize but the other 3 are so clean that I think they might be ones that a guy named Rex sells at most of the CA VW events.
He makes them.
There are real Registered Technician badges but I don't know if that is a real one or if a real one has that same design. I have seen others but not that particular design.
I'm not an expert on those so maybe someone else can answer that with certainty.

the first one is an east german sports (football?) badge and for sale on the net for £10
the eagle is based on the old wartime german red cross insignia and retails for $7

Valuable or not, they are cool.

BSG is likely Berliner Sport Gemeinde, Berlin Sports League. |
